plus it "optimizes your photos for iPad" when it transfers them but I guess you could disable that.

this thing does make a great digital photo album, that's one of the things that peaked my interest when it was announced, the size and quality of the screen compared to other digital photo albums is head and shoulders above the rest. my pics look great on it.

here's a problem, the iPad won't charge from my PC it will only sync. Apparently this is happening with almost all windows users. It won't charge from iPhone AC adapter either but I you can charge an iphone from an iPad adapter.

I'm guessing it won't charge cause of the 10w requirement which is why they made a newer power plug :shrg:

Does this thing function right out of the box or do you need a pc/mac to get it going? In other words can my old man get a 3G one and have it be his interwebs machine without the need for a pc?

^You are correct. I found this on macrumors...

The iPad must be connected to iTunes in order to set it up. Out of the box, it shows a connect to iTunes screen (you must have iTunes 9.1).

Typing in it isn't as bad as I thought. I do like how they put those bump marks on the f and j keys like you do on a real keyboard so you can feel that you're on the home row

So as soon as I get to work today I got surrounded by people. Zomg, Daniel my iPhone died it won't turn on what do I do!?!? Zomg Daniel the side scroll on my trackpad doesn't work what do I do!?!? then zomg Daniel guess what I bought to day!?!? An iPad! How do I use it!?!? Uhhhh.....
So Monday me and the two girls at work that also bought one are going to have lunch and I'm going to teach them how to use it.
They want it to replace their computers but I'm not so sure if it can do that. We'll see. They don't even have computers to sync it to.
I also was a little disappointed that you needed to sync it to a computer in order for it to work
